Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats (certified gluten-free, if needed; see note below)
• ½ tablespoon sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1½ tablespoon cold water, plus additional as needed
• ½ cup cashews, ground
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 cup fruit-flavored dairy-free yogurt (I use 2 5.3-oz containers Silk Yogurt Alternative)
• Sweetener, to taste (see below)
• Fresh fruit, for topping

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 375ºF and grease 2 4-inch, 3 3-inch, or 4 smaller tart pans.
• Place the oats in a spice grinder or food processor with the sugar and salt, and process into a flour. This takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
• Place the oat flour mixture in a bowl and whisk in the oil until coarse crumbs form. Stir in the water. Add more water, as needed, to create tender dough that isnt sticky.
• Press the dough evenly into your prepared tart pans and up the sides. Prick the bottom of the crusts a few times with a fork.
• Bake the crusts for about 12 minutes, or until set. Let cool.
• While the crusts cool, process the cashews into a powder in a spice grinder, blender or food processor. Add the oil and blend until fairly smooth.
• Add the yogurt and nut butter mixture to a blender and puree for just 30 seconds to combine. You dont want to heat it up. Taste test. If desired, blend in sweetener to taste.
• Pour the filling into your prepared crusts and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.
• When ready to eat, top with your favorite fresh fruit. I use strawberries with sliced strawberry dairy-free yogurt, blueberries with blueberry, chopped peaches with peach, etc.
